Winnifred Eaton published her books under a Japanese-sounding name, Onoto Watanna, but she was of Chinese ancestry. In Me: A Book of Remembrances, reissued here in a new edition, Nora Ascouth is a powerless young woman typical of the working class. In the narrative, as Nora journeys from her birthplace in Canada to search out a career, first in Jamaica, and then in the United States, Eaton imparts her own experiences with rejection and the struggle to gain success and love.
The autobiographical plotline likewise discloses a remarkable secret, the author's ethnic shame and her reticence to speak of her own half-Chinese identity. Like other ethnic immigrants, Winnifred and Nora are indoctrinated by America's Anglo preference. Nora's painful search ends, however, as the author's did. She gains achievement as a novelist.
